PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"I'm just on the borders of DTs darling, and I've wasted some of my tremendous love for you on a lank redmouthed girl with a reputation like hell," writes Dylan Thomas to his first love, Pamela Hansford Johnson. Johnson ended their relationship soon after this revelation, but Thomas would write many more contrite letters in the course of his life, collected in The Love Letters of Dylan Thomas. Edited by Peter Lynch, the impassioned and often witty missives to Johnson; Thomas's wife, Caitlin; and other lovers eloquently document the cycles of dissipation and remorse that ended in the poet's death.
